When liberal preachers speak - does anyone listen?

[Cell Whitman]

I imagine this was posted here in some form - certainly haven't seen much on this in the media. Including the liberal side of the net. Proof again that the "liberal" media is a lie. As we look for religious leaders to speak up against theofascism - when they do, I'm afraid they might as well be a tree falling in the woods.

Note the comment of one preacher below. They rightfully worry about how to deal with Moon's theocratic political army. (though they don't see that is who they are fighting yet) The preachers rightfully fear that the only way to fight them is to become like them. What do you think?

"There is a Progressive Movement Aborning"
Progressive religious leaders are increasingly speaking out against the theocratic agenda of the Christian Right. The Interfaith Alliance organized one such speak-out on Monday, in the form of a telephone press conference with five major religious leaders in response to the "Justice Sunday: Stop the Filibuster Against People of Faith," telecast on Sunday night...

Here is some of what the guest speakers had to say:

Thistlewaite: "I was shocked at how sacrilegious the event was... The radical religious right turned a sanctuary into a political platform. We are the religious mainstream. We support the Constitution and we will not turn a church into a political action committee."

Veazey: "I don't doubt the sincerity of Albert Mohler and other fundamentalist ministers who say that the Bible is the inerrant source and that they and they alone know what the Bible says and means... But most of us don't go along with this. Christians have strong differences of opinion on the meaning of scriptures and we don't want to see a particular brand of Christianity held up as the only real Christianity. We certainly don't want a particular brand of Christianity enacted as the law of the land."

"Justice Sunday was not about religion; it was part of an ongoing power grab to take over the courts and reverse decades of progress for minorities, women, the environment, workers' rights, and other issues and groups that have been relatively powerless. We must not compromise on our rights and freedoms."....

Forbes: "The religious right has been working a long time to build up to the strength they now have and to the audacious means they are able to use... What we as progressives are already doing takes time to mobilize and to come to full visibility. But I think that it will be clearer, as the days go by, that there is a progressive movement aborning, that is asking about what are the most effective means for us to promote the values we hold, and what means have been used by others but actually subvert the values we hold. We must be as efficient and effective in the use of media and modes of communication, but hopefully in ways that will not be the death knell of what we stand for and what our nation has been standing for through these years."

Please understand, the people in that church in Louisville ARE - whether they see it yet or not -Moon's theocratic political army.

Moon gathered them together, he raised them up for reason.
